Sometimes there's little to love about college textbooks. They're boring, expensive, and super cumbersome and heavy. Still, you don't want to lose them. And if you plan to sell them back, you'll need to keep them in good shape. To do so, include a dorm room bookshelf on your college supply list. This College Book Tower White - Way Basics Dorm has three whole layers to keep your books. That's so many layers that you probably won't need them all for books, even if you're an English major. You can use one layer for other dorm supplies, and you'll even have a nice little area for some additional dorm decorations. Most students just think of posters when they think of college decor, but if you want your dorm room to feel like your room back home, go ahead and put up a few trophies!

Dorm desks never seem to provide adequate storage for textbooks. There will probably be a few musty old drawers and a shelf up top, but you'll need an addition to your dorm furniture unless you want to toss all those books under your dorm bed! Sometimes that can seem tempting, especially when that way you might forget about them. But since you'll always be on the go and grabbing textbooks, keeping them under your bed is hardly convenient. Storing them on a bookshelf is convenient, however, and you'll look pretty smart with all those books on display!
